I just found out today that I was accepted into this thing. It includes a flight down to Kennedy Space Center aboard a KC-135 for a three-day tour plus some basic flight instruction (unfortunately, not aboard the KC-135!), lots of materials, and some great opportunities to learn about teaching flight-related lessons in my classroom.
Woo-hoo!
